Why is your heart so confused? It's a child that's easily bruised You walk into rooms with a smile on your face But the door just revolves And you're back in the same place You fall in love like a flame A flower that blooms and it dies the same day You'd cut off your nose just to spite your own face Shoot yourself in the foot if it meant she would stay Why would anyone give their heart away, away? I break when I see you fold You can be strong as houses You're a tent in the cold I ache when I see another great man fall Why would anyone give their heart at all, at all? So you're gonna cross the Nullarbor Plain Return to dust and be born again And if love is art if tears are like paint I hope you'll let them dry but don't leave it too late Why would anyone leave their heart to fate, to fate? Why would anyone give their heart away, away, away?
